One thing I would look at is the bed without the bed liner. It could be hiding or causing a lot of rust. It might not be so pristine without the liner. Also check around the wheel wells and rocker panels with a magnet. That is where they rust out first.
It more likely an F100.
With 78,000 miles, and this is accurate, then the value is whatever you and he agree on. You offer 2500, he demands 4000. You settle somewhere in the middle, or you walk away. Frnakly, the truck is likely to sell today for more than it sold for when it was new.
PS I pulled these numbers out of my ass to illustrate the point. Offer what you are willing to pay for a truck to haul the stuff you want to haul.
being sold by someone in my
yeah ok, whatever, my son had a 2004 ford that was a piece of s*it, and a
2005 Chevy that was even a bigger piece of s*it, both had computers go out. so whatever misleading crap about them being better is just that crap, I'll keep my 67 and it will still be running when you new and improved model will be sold or traded for another computer run hunk of junk.
guess you got it right the first time BUNK yeah that's a good word for it, sounds like the BUNK that BUSH keeps feeding us. Think what you like, I could care less, it don't effect me or my truck.
If you have such thin skin, maybe you shouldn't be participating in the news groups.
I can remember looking at new 1971 Chevy C10's...the sticker price was just under $2,000.
There will always be those individuals who spend their entire lives stuck in the past, for whatever reason. Everyone has a right to remain ignorant, carry on.
is that the reason your wife stuck with you all these years?? well I guess everyone DOES have the right to remain ignorant.
Your wife? I didn't know you knew, Like i said, Carry on.

Ah! Finally, a thread about old pickups! Having read all of the comments, I'd like to weigh in on the value of driving an old pickup. My daily drivers are 67 and 68 F-100s. Neither has air nor power steering. Like someone else said, the quality and dependability of these old horses can't compare to today's cars. I say if you like screwing around with old steel and having some fun driving, buy one. I like your idea of teaching your kids mechanical fundamentals with an old Ford. As far as hardened valve seats go, it is not necessary to change them until you redo the heads. Anyhow, four grand sounds like too much for that truck. I'm guessing $2,500 to $3,000 would be more like it. If you are interested, go on over to
Like he said Ah! finally, somebody that thinks the same way I do, and for the rest of you computer driving dead heads you can keep you new stuff, I know I can depend on my no matter what.
I looked at a new 1976 fully loaded Jeep Cherokee Chief that had a sticker price of around $3500. I'd guess that the '68 F100 in this discussion sold new for something in the range of $1500.
